    Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. Every year we would travel to our family's house up in Point Reyes and have a huge celebration.

    What Can Gluten Free People Eat On Thanksgiving?

    Gluten free people can eat all sorts of things for Thanksgiving. They need to avoid wheat, barley, and rye. There are also potential cross-contamination risks if you are eating away from home. Bringing several safe gluten-free dishes is always safest if we are headed to family's homes.

    If you are still planning your Thanksgiving menu, don't forget to check out my delicious gluten free Thanksgiving recipes.

    What Thanksgiving Day Sides Are Popular?

    This is a tricky question to answer. Many would say it is the stuffing, but others love the mashed potatoes or the sweet potato casserole. This Chunky Cranberry Sauce is also popular!

    How Many Side Dishes Should You Serve For Thanksgiving?

    The number of side dishes served depends on how many people will enjoy their Thanksgiving meal with you and how much your family likes leftovers. I usually serve stuff green like Brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes, and sweet potatoes at our family meal.

    How Long Do Sides Typically Keep Fresh?

    Thanksgiving side dishes usually keep up to 4 days if they are kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

    If you are new to gluten free living and this is your first Thanksgiving, don't forget to check out my easy tips and tricks for gluten free living. It is a valuable resource to help you adjust to gluten-free living quickly.

    I also have many great suggestions if you are wondering what gluten free foods are best to stock in your gluten free pantry.
